Put some lasinoh nipple cream on after wash and dry - it's amazing and works well!

It depends on how bad the eczema is, in DS case there was no option, the dummy was a liability causing recurrent infections so it had to go.

Tommee Tippee. the smooth plastic one with the little duck or monkey workes for dd. I bought the TT coloured ones recently but they have a rough rubber surround the made the surrounding skin flare up. Dont know if this advice is too late as you posted in May.

I never really wanted to use dummies but ds sucked his thumb and would get really distressed when I would cover his hands to stop him from scratching. I give him a dummy for sleeping/napping only and he is really content with it.
I've tried a few different types but they all seem to rub on his gorgeous fat cheeks so now he has really red sore patches.
Ideally, I need one with no side bits or sides that turn slightly out instead of in.

Does anyone know what I mean and can help me?

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
